Well it’s been a while since I’ve last posted. Besides everyday life I really don’t have an excuse. I’ve definitely thought about it but my motivation wasn’t there. So what changed today? I made a conscious decision to give back to me. You can say I got up and took some action. Writing makes me happy so why not do it? A lot of times we as women sacrifice ourselves for our children, significant others, friends, family, and work. If we don’t we feel guilty. Ladies we need to be happy. I’m not talking about superficial happiness but deep down soul happiness. How do we get there? We’ve been trained that people, status, material goods are the links to happiness and although it may make us smile it doesn’t last. We become dependent on these people or things and when it’s gone our life feels over. We may get that new bag and be happy that day but what happens? We end up wanting more bags because we are filling that void with temporary gratification. I don’t know about you but I want more. I want to be true to who I am and not to what is expected of me. How will I get there? I have a couple of ideas. I plan on really searching within myself and asking God to guide me. I truly believe that the first step is to make the decision and the next step is to act. I’m writing because that truly makes my soul happy. That is just one thing. I plan on searching for more and giving more to me. Love starts with you. I challenge you to take this journey with me. What will you do to make your soul happy?
